For the second to last Twisted interview, we have R.G. Westerman.

Her monthly newsletter can be accessed here here, and she runs a book marketing blog here.

Name of Story/Stories Included in Twisted:
The Spectre

Describe the mood of your story:
I like try to write stories which touch on the human condition in some way. At the end of the day we all fear something. I like to poke those fears with a stick and flip the rock over to see what is there.

Where did you get the inspiration for this piece?
From a dream I had as a child.

What is your favorite thing about writing horror?
For my short stories, I don't think I sit down with the sole intention of writing horror. I write the stories, and sometimes they end up being horror. That being said, I like a monster more than any human bad guy ever. Monsters are easy. Monsters are manageable. That's probably why I gravitate towards horror.

What are you working on now?
Currently, I am finishing up the final episode of the Rising Ash Saga, Thorn, which will be available soon on Amazon. I am looking forward to NanoWrimo coming up this November. I can't say what genre I'm writing this time around, but it rhymes with bleampunk.

Other published works?

The Rising Ash Saga Ash:
Ash
Blaze
Eden
Rose
